    sushant005This is a very silly question.

    You have given 8,8,3,3 .
    How can you make 24 by by using the above four number?

    the solution will be like that :
    sorry respected moderators for posting wrong answer previously
    now I going to edit in the previous reply
    so the correct solution will be like this:
    I am sure factorial will play a vital for getting 24
    here is the solution:
    (8x3!)-(8x3)=24
    yea I am correct now
    please suggest me if I commited any mistake regarding this post
    Regards
    sherya

    you are absolutely correct.

    But this question can be solved without using the factorial.

    here is another solution:

    8/(3-8/3)

    8/((9-8)/3)

    8/1/3

    8*3 = 24.

    there is also another way to solve by using factorial'

    8*3!/3 + 8

    8*3*2*1/3 + 8

    16+8 = 24.
    so in this way there may be many ways to get 24.

    Tip: Algebraic and not Algebric 😀
